A POPULAR classical music festival will return in August.
North York Moors Chamber Music Festival will run from August 13-27 at Welburn Manor Farms, near Kirkbymoorside.
The theme of this year’s festival is ‘Soundscapes’, taking inspiration from the landscape and music inspired by nature.
Leading folk music artist, Sam Lee, is said to bring a new perspective to the annual festival, which is now in its 14th consecutive year.
Festival director Jamie Walton said: “Sam’s song set will fit in perfectly, as he is a conservationist, collector of songs and a real champion of nature.”
All the main festival concerts will take place in an acoustically adapted marquee in the grounds of Welburn Manor Farm.
This is likely to be the last time the festival hosts this format before returning to churches, three of which – at Coxwold, Egton Bridge, and Danby – feature as part of this year’s festival.
Tickets for each main festival concert are £15.00, and free for under-30s.
A season ticket for all 15 concerts costs £150.
